Identification of Main Driving Factors of Water Resources Carrying Capacity in Taiyuan City by DING Xiangyi, SHI Xiaolin, WANG Xiangqian, MEI Chao

“…Utilizing the existing evaluation results of the water resources carrying capacity of Taiyuan City,this paper qualitatively analyzed its driving factors of the city,which was based on the analysis of the critical overload/overloading causes of various dimensions including quantity,quality,domain and flow and the consideration of the current situation of water resources in Taiyuan City.The paper also quantitatively identified the driving factors influencing the water resources carrying capacity of Taiyuan City with a combination weighting method of principal component analysis,analytic hierarchy process and entropy weight method.Further,making full use of the respective advantages of qualitative analysis and quantitative identification of driving factors,the paper took the common influencing factors as the main driving factors of the water resources carrying capacity of Taiyuan City.The results indicated that the main driving factors influencing the various dimensions of water resources carrying capacity in the city included the followings:①water quantity dimension:precipitation,per capita water resources,ratio of imported water to consumed water,groundwater extraction coefficient,coefficient of effective utilization of farmland irrigation water,water consumption per 10 000 yuan of industrial added value and wastewater utilization rate;②water quality dimension:water quality compliance rate of water function zone,proportion of water quality inferior to Grade V;③water domain dimension:soil erosion control rate;④water flow dimension:proportion of river ecological water replenishment.The research results can provide references for the plan formulation of improving water resources carrying capacity in Taiyuan City.…”

Study on Spatiotemporal Distribution Characteristics of Rainfall Erosivity in “Three-Lake” Basin of Central Yunnan by YANG Wenchun, GU Guihua, ZHU Weibing, HUO Shouhua

“…This study is conducted to explore the influence of rainfall on the characteristics of soil erosion in the “three-lake” basin of Fuxian Lake,Xingyun Lake,and Qilu Lake in central Yunnan.On the basis of the daily rainfall observation data of four precipitation stations in the basin from 1992 to 2020,namely,the Liangwanghe,Haikou,Chaershan,and Shagouzui Stations,the daily rainfall erosivity model is employed to calculate rainfall erosivity.Then,its temporal variation characteristics are analyzed with the M-K method,and the spatial changing laws of rainfall and rainfall erosivity are investigated by the Kriging interpolation method for spatial interpolation.The results are as follows:From 1992 to 2020,the average annual rainfall in the “three-lake” basin is 907.6 mm,and the average annual rainfall erosivity is 3 088~4 172 MJ·mm/(hm²·h);the variation coefficient of annual rainfall erosivity is between 0.25 and 0.32,and the number of days with erosive rainfall at each station is 686~759.There is a good correlation between annual rainfall and annual rainfall erosivity,and the annual rainfall erosivity in the basin fluctuates on the whole,with no significant increasing trend and no abrupt change.The rainfall erosivity varies significantly within the year,with that in summer accounting for 61.4% and that in the flood season accounting for 90.5% of the year,and the variation of rainfall erosivity is topped by summer,followed by autumn,spring,and winter.The spatial distribution trend of average annual rainfall erosivity in the basin is consistent with the annual rainfall distribution trend,high in the north and low in the south.The rainfall erosivity decreases gradually from north to south in terms of years,flood seasons,summer,and autumn,while in terms of non-flood seasons,spring,and winter,rainfall erosivity decreases from northeast to southwest.The research results can provide a scientific basis for water and soil conservation and ecological protection of lakes in the basin of plateau lakes in central Yunnan.…”
